My MacBook Air (2015) has crashes, I can’t get beyond the “flashing question mark” screen — I followed the online suggestion but…nothing works. I think my hard drive is gone. Any suggestions?

Flashing folder with a question mark is an error that may occurs when Mac cannot detect its boot directory. This usually happens when:
1. Mac cannot find the startup Disk.
2. MacOS is corrupt
However, you can try the below methods to fix the issue:
1. Boot your Mac into macOS Recovery Mode
2. Repair startup disk using disk utility
3. Reinstall macOS
Hope it helps!
I went to the Apple store and the staff spent a good while confirming that the hard drive is gone, likely due to age, about 7 years
